      Tchaikovsky and Bach are the best composers of all time, Bach's music restructures your mind to be more intelligent and wise, idk who the crap these other folk are but their music don't match. Not all classical musicians are good, even if you like classical music. I've heard of and listened to most of this obviously, they put it on for a lot of babies an shit, school, movies, who knows how we find it all, but I'm not interested in most of these bloaks. Idk what you would call my interest, but both Bach and Tchaikovsky pique my interest, so there's a for sure synergy between the two, even though they are different, something is exactly the same and idk what it is lol. It's like, idk I think all the differences between all the notes in both their work is very naturally achieved, like some people are natural at something, because they learned it right. But they created music that makes YOU feel like a natural at whatever your doing while listening to it. And it lifts up your mind to the best and divine things in the universe. They both do that, even though they are not close in the measure of time, they were close in a lot of other ways. Heck, when Bach was alive they didn't even have timing in music, just slow to fast, no metronomes, it's really fun to see how people translate that because some peoples will be better if the player is better, plus you get to learn about how they translate Bach. Definitely the greatest. No doubt. They literally don't make music like that anymore.

    Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer. In the Violin Concerto in D major, I feel like Tchaikovsky takes flight to another world where there's no hurt, where not only do they accept him for who he is, but they genuinely love him for it. The harmony of self-worth and the feeling of being loved reminds me of a safe space. I love immersing myself in that enchanting world. The definition was very accurate.

There's no other composer who keeps you more firmly in the Western tradition, even more so than Bruckner who 'converted me into a Catholic'. There is an uncanny similarity with Vivaldi and Shostakovich. Their music speaks very naturally from the instrument.

    When I was younger, Chopin was my favorite composer, though I also enjoyed other composers like Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Prokofiev, Schubert, Saint-Saens, Mozart, Wagner, etc. I also used to find Bach's works to be dry and tiresome. Bach's unrivaled brilliance for harmony eventually dawned on me when I was in my late teens, and since then, my musical tastes have become extremely specialized, with Bach being the only composer I listen to exclusively. His organ compositions, inventions and cantatas are my lifeblood.

    You were spot on with Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Dvorak. For Beethoven, he was actually more liberal than conservative in his day, and his music reflects transcendentalism at its best. I think you were way off with Brahms, Verdi, Wagner, Prokofiev, and Liszt (he was well-known to be a humble person. Passionate is a better description). A fun and interesting video nonetheless ☺👏👍

      So favorite is when you realize you love a piece even if you haven't listened to it for awhile. You may find yourself humming the tune at wrk. An absolute favorite piece of music is when you have to listen to it at least 3 times a week. If you don't you'll stick a sharpened pencil in your eye for suffering your own foolishness
